    摘要: A laser machining apparatus with a simplified laser beam transmitting network. Respective laser beams form laser generators LS#11 to LS#25 divided into groups of G1 and G2 are aggregated to fiber-optic cables H1 and H2 by confluence devices HC1 and HC2 and transmitted to a most upstream laser beam outlet OP1. The laser beams are further aggregated to a fiber-optic cable H3 and distributed to a branch fiber-optic cable HH1 by the laser beam outlet OP1, and then distributed by laser beam outlet OP2 to OP8 to branch fiber-optic cables HH2 to HH8. The laser beams distributed to branch fiber-optic cables are focused by the machining tools TL1 to TL8 attached to robots RB1 to RB8 for laser machining. By controlling output levels of the laser generators with different oscillation wavelengths and different polarization characteristics, blend ratio of the laser beams can be adjusted. Distribution ratios of the laser beams at the laser beam outlets OP1 to OP8 are adjustable.

    摘要: Provided is a correction data checking system, for robots, which makes it easy to reveal the cause of a machining defect. A laser machining head and a distance sensor or a sensor for detecting a work line are attached to the distal end of a robot arm. A robot is driven based on a teaching program, and a copying control technique is implemented based on information sent from the sensor so that the distance between the laser machining head and a workpiece will be equal to a set value. A path of taught positions of the laser machining head and a path of actual positions thereof are displayed in comparison with each other on a display of a teaching console or the like. Moreover, the difference between the taught position and actual position is calculated and displayed. As both the position commanded by the teaching program and the actual position derived from the copying control technique are displayed, if a machining defect occurs, the machining defect is checked to see if it is a problem attributable to the sensor or a problem attributable to the workpiece or a jig. The cause of the machining defect is then revealed. Consequently, the cause of a machining defect can be quickly revealed and dealt with at a working site.

    摘要: A processing system for stably processing a workpiece even if the shape of the workpiece changes every production lot of the workpiece, or by a change of the workpiece. The distance between the workpiece and an end of a nozzle of a laser machining head is measured by a distance sensor. A data correcting value ΔZ′mn is calculated using a measured distance ΔZrn at each teaching point and a set gap value ΔZs (step S6-S15). By using ΔZ′mn, the data of the teaching points are corrected to new data of the teaching points of the program (step S16-S19). The distance between the workpiece and the end of the nozzle of the laser machining head does not become larger because the teaching points of the processing program are corrected every time when the workpiece is processed. The interference between the workpiece and the head may be prevented and the processing may be stably implemented because the amount of correction becomes smaller when the position of the head is corrected during the processing.

    摘要: A nozzle system for laser machining capable of maintaining an interference region of a robot in a teaching operation to be substantially the same as that in a laser machining operation. An optical fiber supporting unit is attached to a nozzle body unit having laser beam converging lens for performing a laser machining operation. An optical fiber for supplying a laser beam is connected to an optical fiber connector on the optical fiber supporting unit. A laser machining is performed by combination of the nozzle body unit and the optical fiber supporting member attached to a distal end of a robot arm. In a teaching operation, a camera supporting unit (dummy nozzle) having substantially the same dimension as the nozzle body unit and supporting a camera at a predetermined position is used in place of the optical fiber supporting unit and the nozzle body unit. Alternatively, the nozzle body unit may be used commonly in combination with the optical fiber supporting unit in the machining operation and with the camera supporting unit in the teaching operation. A visual sensor using projection of a spot beam or slit beams may be adopted.

    摘要: A robot control apparatus in which a load exerted on a driving system of a robot is detected to make it easy to judge a time for preventive maintenance or overhaul, and life of the robot driving system. A driving torque Ta outputted to the driving system is found by subtracting a torque which is spent in a motor itself for accelerating or decelerating a rotor from an output torque T of a motor M for driving each axis of the robot. Further, an average torque of the driving torque Ta and an average speed of an output shaft of the motor M are found and displayed. An average torque of an output torque of a speed reducer and an average speed of an output shaft of the speed reducer are obtained, and, based on these values, the life of the speed reducer is determined. Then a ratio of the determined life to a rated life is obtained and displayed. An actual load exerted on the driving system is monitored, so that the time for the preventive maintenance or overhaul, and life of the driving system is easily judged. Also, the life of the speed reducer is easily predicted.
